Our friends at Foley Boxing Club, now based at Imber, are offering free Boxercise classes to our Gold and Silver members on Sunday mornings and Monday Evenings! We’re excited about this, and there’s even a little hearsay that some of our staff may partake.
The Foley Boxing Club began in 1971 with a group of boxers and the help of Youngs Brewery. Since then, they have moved into Imber, and have maintained their pedigree for Forty-Eight years, and are still going strong today.
Check out their fully kitted gym and some of their training here and find out this times of the Boxercise lessons, as well as others, here, under regular classes.
Both Dogs and Grounds are being groomed and pruned read for our Open Day this Sunday. With categories such as Waggiest Tail, be sure to get practising in preparation for the Dotty Dog Show. We’ve also all been out in force, tending to the flowers and the kitchen garden to make sure we look our best. There’s a lot of buzz this week as the excitement around the club grows for everyone, including the #CrossFit2012 team, who are hosting a competition in their newly built box. That’s a Gym to the rest of us.

Following feedback from our members we have introduced Junior Gym sessions at Imber. These sessions will be run by Lee , our Gym Instructor .
This weekend saw our Crossfit team at Imber Court competing in the International Crossfit Open. Lots of activity and some fine performances I hear including from our very own Imber Court physio Matt Lawrence. He is seen below completing a series of ‘barmuscleups.’ His partner Liz is the eagle eyed judge with the clipboard.
I am sure Matt will let us know how he got on as I have checked the leader boards online and cannot find any mention?
I am thinking of giving this particular exercise a go myself but will need to check first if they have a strong enough stepladder…
I am really pleased that starting in February we will have Physiotherapy Services in our Health Club. The physio is Mathew Lawrence, MSc MCSP HCPC and other than having more letters after his name than Dominik, some may recognise him as the Head Coach at Crossfit2012. I have known Matt for some time now and he is a very likable and an inspirational character who I am sure will be a real asset to Imber with the physio services he is providing.
He will provide rehabilitation treatments focused on bio-mechanics and movement dysfunction including dry needling, spinal manipulation, kinesiology taping, and soft tissue mobilisation.
It is really easy to book, just email Matt at info@crossfit2012.co.uk and if you mention in your email that you are an Imber member he will give a 10% discount.
Matthew Lawrence, Senior Physiotherapist MSc MCSP HCPC
Matt graduated from the University of East London in 2009 with an Honours degree in Physiotherapy. This allowed Matt to further fulfil his ambition of an all-encompassing approach to Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation. Matt’s most proud achievement to date was providing Physiotherapy and assistant coaching support to the Men’s Goalball Team at the Paralympic Games in London 2012. His main interest as a Physiotherapist is in the rehabilitation setting, focusing on biomechanics and movement dysfunction. His Physiotherapy skills cover dry needling, spinal manipulation, kinesiology taping, and soft tissue mobilisation strategies.
Please email us at info@crossfit2012.co.uk to book an appointment with Matt.
This day 22 years ago Lord Coe opened the Imber Gym.
It is somewhat apt that Calum and Lee have proposed a make over of the gym following an Olympics Theme. If anyone has any ideas or Olympic items of interest please let us know.
